Do you also hate ignorance?

I was on the subway today and a man rushed by me and said “get the f*ck out of here taliban”, and to be honest, it took me a few minutes to actually register what he said and then I pondered it for a few minutes and then forgot about it until now, so I am going to conclude that it didn’t really bother me too much.

The reason that I am sharing this with you is because it reminded me why I love living in this country – you see, the last time that someone directed an ignorant, racist remark at me was about 11 years ago, pre-911 and pre-headscarf, so back then I was just Indian aka “brown”! I feel quite fortunate that I can live in a country as open to culture and diversity as Canada is, and I really want to say that though I tend to take a lot of things about living here for granted, and I really dislike winter, and this spring was totally disappointing, Canada rocks people!

In other news – ignorance! People, ignorance sucks! And it helps none of us! iMuslim is doing her part! I gotta find myself one…
